Qin Qianluo first felt a strong dizziness, her head was buzzing, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.
She raised her hand to rub her temples, calmed herself down, and looked gently at Yao Guang, who looked nervous beside her.
Yao Guang's brows were furrowed, her eyes were full of worry, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Qin Qianlu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a reassuring smile. She raised her hand and gently patted Yao Guang's shoulder, the movement gentle and soothing, indicating that she was alright.
Then, she frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a thoughtful expression, her mind racing.
After reviewing what had happened in his mind and pondering for a moment, he took Yao Guang and stepped into the space.
As soon as they entered the space, warm light gently fell upon them.
Feng Qingyun had been waiting in the space, and upon seeing the two enter, she immediately hurried to greet them.
She organized her thoughts and recounted the events in a methodical and detailed manner, gesturing frequently to make the information clearer.
Upon hearing this, Yao Guang was first taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing across her face, before she suddenly realized that Feng Qingyun had been communicating with her master.
Her tense nerves instantly relaxed, her shoulders slumped slightly, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
He seemed to be freed from his confinement, and stood with Qin Qianluo, listening intently with focused attention and a thirst for knowledge in his eyes.
Feng Qingyun's eyes, which were originally full of smiles, now seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, becoming cold and deep.
His expression was solemn, and every detail on his face revealed the gravity of the situation.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze revealing a hint of helplessness and regret. The county magistrate's family was originally a crucial breakthrough point for uncovering the layers of mystery and seeking the truth.
It was unexpected that he died so easily; it was truly a shock.
She understood Qin Qianluo's thoughts all too well; the mastermind behind the scenes had previously contacted both the Huns and the Japanese.
The only person who had direct contact with the mysterious man was the county magistrate, and now that only direct link had been severed.
The subsequent investigation will undoubtedly face an even more difficult situation, as if walking in the dark and suddenly losing its only guide.
Qin Qianlu stared intently at the light screen floating in the space, her eyes filled with complex emotions, a mixture of frustration and resentment.
Her brows were furrowed, her eyebrows were twisted into a deep frown, her lips were slightly pursed, and the corners of her mouth drooped down, as if she was blaming herself for the interruption of the clue.
Her hands clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she was completely unaware.
Yao Guang, with a focused expression, slowly approached the light screen, her eyes fixed on the scene of the county magistrate's family's deaths, not missing a single detail.
She tilted her head back, carefully examining the deceased's wounds, her eyes revealing a hint of professionalism and composure.
After a moment, she spoke with certainty: "The person who did this is highly skilled in martial arts. The magistrate did not show any obvious external injuries, but the others were all killed with a single blow, clean and swift."
Qin Qianluo stood in front of the light screen, the surrounding air seemingly frozen. Her gaze, sharp as a blade, swept over the horrific scene displayed on the screen inch by inch.
His expression was solemn, as if he were carrying a heavy burden. After a long while, he slowly nodded.
She stared intently at each corpse, not missing a single detail, as if a sophisticated instrument was rapidly operating in her mind.
The victims before me were almost all killed with a single, clean stab wound. The wounds were precisely placed, hitting vital organs with extreme precision, clearly the work of a seasoned killer.
Judging from their frozen faces, their deaths were eerily peaceful; some even retained the expressions they had just had in life.
It's as if life is suddenly taken away without any warning, without even a chance to show any signs of pain.
Such a terrifying method of killing sent a chill down Qin Qianluo's spine.
The martial arts skills of the person who made the move were simply beyond imagination. Such swift and decisive techniques were far beyond what ordinary martial arts heroes or assassins could match.
He is probably a top-tier master who is hiding in the world and whose skills are unfathomable.
However, the magistrate's death was so striking that it stood out from the rest of the crowd.
His entire face was contorted and deformed from extreme pain, his features almost twisted into a knot.
The veins on his forehead bulged as if they were about to burst, and every wrinkle was filled with deep-seated fear and despair.
Qin Qianlu stared at the county magistrate's hideous face, as if she could see the endless torment he had suffered in his life.
What kind of pain would cause someone to have such a horrifying expression on their face at the last moment of their life?
What secrets are hidden within this? This question, like a thick fog, shrouded Qin Qianluo's mind.
The three of them sat silently for a long time in this quiet, somewhat oppressive space.
Time seemed to stand still, and every second felt exceptionally long.
Feng Qingyun's eyes flashed with resentment; she was unwilling to let the clues be so easily lost.
She bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, and her lower lip instantly turned a bright red. Her hands moved rapidly in front of her, and her ten fingers nimbly changed into complex hand seals.
As she tried to peek at the images of the magistrate's family dying, the air around her seemed to be stirred by an invisible hand, with faint ripples spreading as she moved.
However, the light screen seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious dark force, remaining as black as ink, unfathomable, with not a single ray of light piercing through.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see any images. All her efforts were in vain, and her hopes were dashed once again.
